With GeForce 9M, NVIDIA is bringing features like HybridPower and GeForce Boost, two features previously available on desktop PCs, to notebooks. These features are designed to use the minimum amount of power when simple tasks are performed, or provide the maximum performance, in intense applications. Users don’t have to choose between performance and battery life – they simply have to pay a little extra to get both and that’s value, right?
That’s not all, these new GPUs are faster than their older siblings, thanks to continued work on the Geforce 9 architecture. NVIDIA claims an improvement of (up to) 40%, thanks to more stream processors (“cores”) and higher clocks, but I’ll recommend to look at application benchmarks to see if the gains covers your particular usage pattern. All in all, this looks like a good update and because it uses the MXM 3.0 module, you can expect to see this line-up adopted quickly.
